Peter Potamus (voiced by Joe Alaskey in the first appearance, Chris Edgerly in later appearances) is an employee at Sebben & Sebben. It usually isn't clear on what Potamus actually does at Sebben & Sebben, however in the episode Harvey's Civvy he did defend Harvey Birdman as his lawyer. Peter Potamus is known for always asking everyone "Did you get that thing that I sent ya?" The thing that he sent is usually never explained, unless it is served as a plot device (Ex: Harvey's Civvy, if Shado received the documents for request for discovery).

Viv always had a civvy boyfriend on the go – nothing too heavy – but she was determined that she would not get involved with anyone in the Job. The only time she came close was when charming DS Hooper arrived at Sun Hill.

During the Second World War, Tilsley became a Squadron Leader working on the coastal patrol defending convoys, an experience which resulted in his only book of short stories, The Boys of Coastal. The documentary sense of this book is strengthened by British official photographs of coastal patrols with quotes from the stories accompanying them. In these stories the otherwise small, perhaps inconsequential figure who in civvy street might find his life wasted in a job he is unfitted for, and whose ability goes unused, is often transformed by war into someone of consequence.

Gurney's visit to London, and his version of events, as seen through his Bluey and Curley comic strip, was also historically significant for another reason: it was the first time that a newspaper comic strip had ever been transmitted from England to Australia by radio.Bluey and Curley by Radio from London, The (Perth) Sunday Times, Sunday 9 June 1946), p.2. The strip lost some of its appeal and readership when the pair returned to "civvy street". After Gurney's sudden death from heart attack, the strip was continued by Norman Rice, and then by Les Dixon.

To inform POWs about the scheme as early as possible, information was distributed through the British Red Cross and the officers of the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force, who had access to POWs whilst they were still in prisoner of war camps. A leaflet called Settling Down on Civvy Street was issued to POWs after they had been back in Britain for a week or two. This timing was intended to catch their attention when the initial excitement of repatriation had subsided and POWs might begin to experience some frustration or have questions. Many local or regional newspapers carried stories about local CRUs and the local men participating in the scheme.

Henderson trained as a solicitor but never practised at a law firm. He says that it was his National Service that finally convinced him to use his legal training, by showing him a side of the law which he could never aspire to in civvy street. He was a captain in the directorate of army legal services and for 18 months acted as a prosecuting attorney handling everything from fraud, assault and attempted murder to what he has described, with great delicacy, as "various unnatural offences". After that kind of drama he said there was no way he could face the tedium of a provincial solicitor's office where wills and small debt summonses would be the highlights of life.

In 1946 the song "With My Little Stick of Blackpool Rock", which Formby had recorded in 1937, began to cause problems at the BBC for broadcasts of Formby or his music. The producer of one of Formby's live television programmes received a letter from a BBC manager that stated "We have no record that "With My Little Stick of Blackpool Rock" is banned. We do however know and so does Formby, that certain lines in the lyric must not be broadcast". Other sources, including the BBC, state that the song was banned from being broadcast. Between July and October 1946 Formby filmed George in Civvy Street, which would be his final film.
